Laundry Rooms! The latest trend

It’s the one room in the house that no one really wants to spend a lot of time in. The laundry room! Most pass through after a round of golf at Lake Ashton or a quick swim at the community swimming pool at Traditions, and never stop to look around at the dirty socks and lint. However, laundry rooms in 55 plus communities in Florida like Lake Ashton and Traditions at Lake Ruby are being redesigned and offer more than just a dryer vent and a hook up for a washer. Modern laundry rooms are increasing in size and offer beautiful cabinetry, a separate slop sink, granite counter tops, and extra space for your beloved pets. Some laundry rooms in the resale homes in Lake Ashton are large enough to accommodate lockers, televisions, and craft tables. Laundry rooms have improved greatly. For many, many years, the laundry room has been an uninviting space. It has been a room with one fluorescent lamp, and was typically cold and dark. However, with the help of customer feedback from clients who tour homes in 55 plus communities in Florida, many residential home builders like Century Residential and Lennar are turning the space around and laundry rooms are becoming an inviting, welcoming room in the house. Now, the laundry room is just as important as the master bedroom and kitchen. A welcoming update to the laundry room is the location of the room itself. The latest suggestions are to have laundry rooms installed on an exterior wall so windows can be added for natural light and appeal. Modern lights and decorative tile work are also being installed, at the request of the new homeowner. For older homes, smaller laundry rooms are also being transformed. Additional overhead cabinetry is being added, drop zones for smart phones and electronics are being installed, and creative new wall art is hung. Let’s be honest, no one really enjoys doing laundry- it’s a dreadful chore for most. So why not transform your laundry room into a desirable room in the home, and make doing laundry a more pleasant experience, even after you retire.
